HIV is certainly character-building. It's made me see all of the shallow things we cling to, like ego and vanity. Of course, I'd rather have a few more T-cells and a little less character. Randy Shilts

i don't know why all the sudden, gut thought of Ecstasy, sh rooms, and a few other fun ones have been popping in and out of my head. Just have a night of clubbing but then realty steps in and i don't know if this is a good thing. I know for me dropping some ex and going to a rave is a great relief. Will this be the case or brass myself for a rough ride. What so you all think

I have a friend and we have had HIV exact same amount of time. He did and continues to drink and drug. I quit right off. He is in and out of hospital. Looks 30 yrs older than I and has nearly died many times yet continues drugging. So its your choice, take care of yourself or not. I enjoy my health.

That's all well and good for you and a pity for your friend. But the OP is wondering about a one off, not becoming a life long partier.

I'm thinking of doing the new bath salts thing. Wonder if Bath & Body Works carries them. Which reminds me, their semi-annual sale starts in 8 days. Contact their customer service number at 1-800-756-5005 and request a 20% off coupon. You can use it on top of their already awesome sale prices.

I took an out-of-town guest to pride when I lived in NYC and he insisted on wearing Calvin Klein underwear (height of craze, early 90's)... I was so mortified.

... here I am years later working a Panama hat and a lot of Prada. Please admire my shirtless Puerto Rican date likely high on a potent mixture of crushed/snorted pills and ketamine -- my home brewed specialty.

That guy sitting between you two does not appear to be having as much fun. Body language (crossed arms/feet) suggest he is not happy about something that just took place. Your date has it going on for sure and that little smile on your faces tells me that the day turned into a rather enjoyable evening.

And what on earth are you wearing on your feet? So Euroyuckepean. ~gag~

Very fashionable circa 1994. My ex from that time used to wear those. I always thought it was a white boy thang.

It was one of those things you paid someone to sit in, then they took your pictar and put it in a "picture greeting card" and then over-charged you for it all. Pride celebrations in NYC are sophisticated affairs!

The first time I experienced a K hole I freaked out . I was lying on a sofa and I couldn't move or speak wondering if I was going to be like that forever . Then I remembered that K is an animal tranquilizer and I freaked out some more thinking about the kitty cats and puppies having surgery and being paralyzed but completely aware they are being cut on and unable to do anything about it .

I swore if I could wake up I would never do K again . I woke up and snorted a bigger line right away . I like the smell of it .

How's come I don't seem to know what people are talking about on so many posts? What the heck is a K hole?

K is short for Ketimine an animal tranquilizer , if you snort it you will get high , if you snort a bit too much you sedate yourself and go into what people call a K hole where you are sedated but aware of whats going on around you .

Then what's the point of doing it if you can't reach your cocktail? Lordy, I sure have lived in my little gay bubble too long.

That's precisely the type of experience I would have on that crap. And I do NOT like the smell or taste of it. As an enhancer for things like X, sure. On it's own, no use for it whatsoever.

A proper K-hole is a complete out-of-body-experience. I've completely floated on the ceiling, or found myself in another room with glass wall, etc. It's a sensation unlike any other drug.

I remember one time watching Saving Private Ryan while doing K . The opening scene where they were landing on the beach was so intense , I actually felt like I was there ... when that scene ended my friend and I were all wrapped up in each others arms without even realizing it .
